NOVEL APPLICATIONS TO DRIVE THE BRAIN & NERVOUS SYSTEM TO BOOST ORTHOPEDIC OUTCOMES!
Better results! Better with pain!
Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS), is a non-invasive, painless brain stimulation treatment that uses direct electrical currents to stimulate specific parts of the brain. The placement of electrodes on the head that stimulate affected areas in a very simple and comfortable way for the patient with no side effects! TDCS is a neuromodulation technique that produces immediate and lasting changes in brain function due to neuroplasticity.
Studies show very promising therapeutic effects in the treatment of:
This innovative low direct current technique allows the combination with different techniques such as the therapeutic exercise, manual therapy or PNT (see website) so the professional can boost the effects of such therapies.
Evidence is proven by more than 6000 studies all over the world and now for the first time in the Netherlands!
The course will be presented by neurologist Dr Vanessa Pytel Cordoba. she is currently author or co-author of 30 articles in scientific journals, 2 book chapters, presented in more than 50 communications to national and international congresses.
This course is organized for physiotherapists, manual therapists, chiro's, osteopath's
Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS), is a non-invasive, painless brain stimulation treatment that uses direct electrical currents to stimulate specific parts of the brain. A constant, low intensity current is passed through two electrodes placed over the head which modulates neuronal activity. A fixed current between 1 and 2 mA is typically applied. tDCS works by applying a positive (anodal) or negative (cathodal) current via electrodes to an area.
tDCS is a neuromodulation technique that produces immediate and lasting changes in brain function. The position of the anode and cathode electrodes on the head is used to set how current flows to specific brain regions. The current delivered by tDCS is NOT strong enough to trigger an action potential in a neuron; instead its “sub-threshold” changes the pattern of already activity neurons. The current applied has an INHIBITORY OR EXCITATORY EFFECT on the cortical activity of the brain depending on its intensity, duration and/or polarity.
In this sense, a MODIFICATION OF MEMBRANE POTENTIAL is produced, which stimulates or inhibits the transmission of information. In this way, neuronal levels of excitability and activity can be specifically modified.
This innovative low direct current technique allows the combination with different techniques such as the therapeutic exercise or manual therapy so the professional can boost the effects of such therapies. Evidence is proven by more than 6000 studies all over the world.
